Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 6
The SFS and MTT present the first recording of their complete Mahler Symphony cycle. Sometimes called the “Tragic” Symphony, the Sixth shows Mahler at his most devastating, and many think of this music, first heard in 1906, as a prophecy of the horrors of the century to come.
